But what none of them realize is their loyalty to their hometown will force them to decide between the life they each thought they wanted and a love they can't live without.

In The Beginning, the Steele brothers go all-in to save their small-town from bankruptcy, and readers will catch their first glimpse of Grif and Carlie Beth, Reid and Brynne, and Britt and Miranda. And let's not forget the baby brother billionaire, Jonah, who has secrets of his own.

The Beginning is a 9000-word prequel to the Steele Ridge series, including full-length titles Going Hard, Living Fast, and Loving Deep.
